I was sitting on the back porch of the Grey Havens yesterday enjoying some coffee and saw a broom propped up against the stone wall. For some reason it caused me to wonder if any Celtic Environmentalists have been in contact with Hogwart's to do research into turning brooms into a new form of planet-saving transportation device for us Muggles.Think on't...as Willie Shakespeare might say...we could quadruple the number of parking spaces available all around the world...or at least add some at the top of regular car slots, we could increase the market for broom sales, parking space line painting, air traffic controllers, and lots of other industries that don't immediately come to mind to improve the world's economy!! ANNNNNDDD...it should not hurt the current transportation industry by reducing the number of cars because brooms don't have trunks or back seats in which to carry groceries or squalling young Muggles. Yeah, I've looked up Harry Potter on Wiki to refresh my memory, having read the first two in the series in 2003! ;P
Oh, and we could give a whole new twist to the Canadian sport of curling!! Try to imagine hurling the 'stone' into the sky and 'sweeping' it. If you have no clue about what I'm talking, check out the You Tube 4-part story of curling in Corner Gas country of Saskatchewan or Google 'curling': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UALN8x_c0Ws
Hmmm...what more to say? "Sweep on, MacDuff, and damned be he who cries, 'Enough!'"
Got a kick-stand for your broom?
